About Pistils
Pistils is our abstract motif pick, and it is a pick rather than a default — we looked at the shelf twice before leaving it on. With 26 saves it has barely been seen, and that is neither a good nor a bad sign on a catalogue this size. Nobody has reviewed it, which we do not hold against a new file — but it does mean the preview is the only honest evidence.
Measure the finished repeat, not the hoop. Four repeats of a 180 mm border do not fit a standard pillowcase. Put it to work on abstract shape first. If it survives that, it will survive whatever you had in mind next. Open it big before you commit. At thumbnail size every pattern on this shelf looks equally good, which is the problem with thumbnails.
Search for cakidur studio, decorative embroidery, digital embroidery and embroidery and this is the file those words land on; they are all the same pattern, filed under whichever phrase you happened to type. Nearby you will see borders, which is where to go if this one is nearly right but not quite. On this site it lives on the Border Embroidery Designs shelf, so it also turns up for people browsing border embroidery designs rather than searching for it by name.

How to use this pattern
- Download the files from Creative Fabrica and unzip them into one folder.
- Print the pattern sheets at 100% — no scaling, no «fit to page» — and check the test square with a ruler before you cut anything.
- Tape the sheets together on the printed match marks, then cut the pieces out and keep the instruction sheet next to your machine.
- Sew a quick version in cheap fabric first if the shape is new to you; the second one is always the one you keep.
